Chicken BBQ
The Chicken BBQ is 3 short days away! The PTA and the Chicken BBQ committee have been working very hard to get everything organized. It should be a fabulous event! Tomorrow the list of all the auction items (over 200+) will be coming home so you can see which items spark your interest. We have some amazing items. Also, there will be the class picture and my pizza party in the Teacher Town section of the auction. Please see the information below about the Grade Level Pictures that are available for purchase at the BBQ or through Tuesday if you aren't able to make the BBQ.
If you haven't purchased tickets and would like to purchase tickets before Saturday, please send in your order form and money with your student. Adult tickets are $9, youth tickets are $7 and child tickets are $5. Each meal has chicken, green beans, apple sauce, a roll and pie. If you don't have the order form, but would like to order, you can simply send in a note with how many tickets are needed and money and we will get the tickets sent home. I will be working the drive thru from 3:30-6 and then going to the auction and having some delicious chicken after that. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
STEAM Bus
Craig Adams has graciously donated a Day on the STEAM Bus for the auction at the RBE Chicken BBQ. The winning student’s entire class will get to spend a day on the STEAM Bus doing fun activities. If parents in your student’s class would like to pool their money together so they have more to bid, this is completely fine. Here is the website for the STEAM Bus if you would like to learn more about it. http://www.cpsk12.org/steambus
Grade Level Pictures
If you would like to order a grade level picture and aren’t able to come to the BBQ or weren’t able to get your name added to the list at the Chicken BBQ, please have your child bring $5 (per print) to Mrs. Ross’ classroom by Tuesday, October 18 and you will be added to the order. The order will be placed Tuesday afternoon, so we can’t accept any late orders. Prints will be sent home in Friday folders once they have been printed. This is a great memento to add to your student’s memory box. Thank you for your support!
Weather Expectations at Recess
Please make sure your student has a jacket with them when they come to school. Fall has definitely arrived (at least for a few days, even in the forecast does have some warmer weather, good ol' Missouri weather, right?). As a reminder if the "feels like" temperature is below 60, they are expected to wear a jacket. It is very breezy on our playground and even when they are running around the kids can get chilly.
RBE Literacy Night
Emily Arrow will be performing at an RBE Literacy Night. She will be giving a concert for RBE families, faculty and staff on December 7. This event will take place at Woodcrest Church to accommodate for all our families. This event was planned by Mrs. McKinzie, Mrs. Selle and Mrs. Godier for RBE families and sibilings of RBE students so they too can enjoy Emily Arrow. Due to seating capacity, this event is only open to RBE families. It is free of charge. I will let you know what time the concert will take place closer to the event.
Math Posters
The students finished up "working for" the T-Shirt factory by creating a poster to show how they added up the total number of t-shirts. We had a discussion that they haven't learned how to stack and regroup when adding, so they had to use another strategy. Some groups used place value blocks, while other groups grouped the hundreds, tens and ones and then added. The pictures below show them presenting their posters.
Picnic
Even though Bird Day was postponed, we still enjoyed a picnic in the classroom.
Summaries
We have continued to work on summaries this week using the strategy of Somebody, Wanted, But, So, Then. After your student reads at night, I encourage you to have them summarize what they read. They may not have all parts depending on how long they read, but they should be able to identify what their character wanted and a problem the character had in the book. Today, they wrote a summary independently about Three Hens and a Peacock which is a very funny book. :) It was interesting to read the different summaries because some students wrote about the Peacock and others wrote about the three hens.
Adjectives
We have been working on adjectives last week and this week. The students have learned that adjectives describe a noun. The students identified adjectives of items in the classroom and then created a Word Cloud (http://www.abcya.com/word_clouds.htm) with all the adjectives that describe the items. In a Word Cloud, words that are used more often appear larger. We then created a large poster with the Word Clouds and pictures of the items. The poster is hanging across from our room so if you're in the building, check it out!
Have a wonderful evening!
Mrs. Ross
